It is not illegal to refuse to submit to a breath or blood test in Texas. You have the right to refuse such tests. However, there are civil penalties which may automatically apply if you refuse to comply with a law enforcement request to take such a test. Your driver's license can be revoked for 180 days for a first offense refusal to take the breathalyzer test.
